After the Fall: HIV Grows Up

The documentary "Cute & Deadly" tells the extraordinary story of Romanian children who defied the odds and survived a catastrophic pediatric AIDS epidemic that swept through the country, having a profound and lasting effect on the global medical community.

Romania was hit with a pediatric AIDS epidemic in 1989 after communism fell. Healthcare workers risked their lives to help over 12,000 infected children, with limited medicine and knowledge of the disease. The film 'After the Fall' follows those who fought the disease in its early years and the survivors who are now growing into independent young adults.
